Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Elegant establishment. Wonderful idea for date night. From the looks of the program, it has some great acts coming to the Hall. I don't believe there's a bad seat in the theatre. The concessions were reasonable priced. I have to mention that the cookies for sale are one of one. Honestly, I'm not sure how many I ate that night LOL! This location has a lot of food and drink options surrounding it, there isn't a problem finding a bite before and after your show.
Visited this theater to see "Wicked." I loved the play, theater was nice. Bathrooms on higher floors only had two stalls. When your ticket is listed as restricted view in the balcony, its truly difficult to see everyone on stage unless you're leaning forward. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Excellent theatre with a lot of great performances that come through every season. Seats aren't too crowded, and it was fairly easy getting in and out of the building. Acoustics were great, and the performance we saw was outstanding.
Me having been to my first and probably only show at this theater- the balcony seats were above the sound range, therefore an unbalanced acoustics. Also a gripe about sitting in the balcony was that the railings when sitting down block the view of most of the stage (we were in row B in the middle). Lobby/general area feels very corporate meets, sport event, meets theater? Complete with super super bright lights. It was a very strange atmosphere compared to what I’m used to. The actual performance was amazing. Bathrooms were out of date, dirty, and small. Again, performance was amazing and quality and well put together, but overall ambiance shot the experience.
We had our first experience at this venue, and it was a great one. Even though we were in a higher section, our view was still good and didn’t affect the performance. The acoustics were impressive, and we could hear every word and note from the orchestra. Before the show, we took advantage of the bar, which had a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. My only complaint is that the seats weren’t very comfortable, and they had an angle that was too upright for my liking. Overall, the venue is great, and I’d happily go back to see another show there.
